Samsung has officially announced that the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge will be unveiled on May 12. However, as the launch date approaches, various leaks regarding the device continue to emerge, stirring up excitement and skepticism in equal measure. The latest leak reveals that Samsung is promoting the Galaxy S25 Edge with a promise of “all-day battery” life, a claim that raises eyebrows given the device's reported battery capacity.
Multiple sources have indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a battery capacity of just 3,900 mAh. This is notably smaller than the base model, the Galaxy S25, even though the Edge variant is designed with a larger and higher resolution display. The slim profile of the device, measuring a mere 5.84mm, may be contributing to this reduced battery size, which has led to concerns about whether it can genuinely deliver the promised all-day performance.
Despite these concerns, newly leaked marketing materials from Samsung assert that the Galaxy S25 Edge will indeed provide “all-day battery” life. Images surfaced by Android Headlines showcase this claim, but they are accompanied by a detailed disclaimer. This disclaimer highlights that actual battery life may vary based on several factors, including network environment, feature usage, frequency of calls and messages, and the number of charging cycles. Such disclaimers are commonplace in the industry, with a similar statement used for the Galaxy A56.
While Samsung's marketing push emphasizes the all-day battery concept, skepticism persists, especially considering reviews of previous models like the Galaxy S25. Reviewer Damien Wilde noted that the Galaxy S25 often required a midday charge, which raises questions about the Galaxy S25 Edge's ability to perform under similar conditions, especially with its smaller battery.
The leaks have also revealed additional specifications of the Galaxy S25 Edge. The device is expected to feature an impressive 200MP main camera, a durable build utilizing titanium, and an IP68 dust/water resistance rating. Furthermore, the rear of the device will be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, ensuring enhanced durability. Images also display various official Samsung cases, none of which appear to support the Qi2 charging standard, which could be a point of contention for users seeking advanced wireless charging solutions.
As we approach the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge on May 12, the community is left to ponder the implications of its battery capacity and Samsung's ambitious claims. With reservations now open and a $50 credit incentive, the interest in this device is palpable. However, potential buyers will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if the Galaxy S25 Edge can truly deliver on its promises once it hits the market. What are your thoughts on the battery capacity and Samsung's marketing strategy for the Galaxy S25 Edge?
Stay tuned for updates as Samsung is also expected to release its first Android 16 beta this month, alongside the much-anticipated launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge.
